2 is the low Fire companies up this way were very busy with tree damage yesterday. Luckily our power stayed on. Hopefully that wind stays down.

24 in Gainesville, Florida this Am.    Might be able to swim up to Gator and tap him on the head right now.

Some black ice on the roads but it wasn't too bad thankfully around here. Was expecting it to be worse

[Voyager]

Got down to 0.5 in Tamaqua this morning. I thought for sure it would go below zero. 

From the remember when files, I knew I took pics from the record setting Christmas of 2015...

Looks like MDT will bottom out at 3. 

[Yardstickgozinya]

2°F here in Fairview township.

  Tested out my new Tobe v3 and Tobe  base layers in the snow Thursday, and cold early this morning. This morning was 7.3 miles hiked and 3.3 hours out in the dark ,cold, shitty wind. Awesome Mono suit, great  morning hike to the summit, though snowless.

Their summary is reporting a 4 though I see the 3's in their 5 min readings...that conversion from C to F maybe.

Still -1 here at 8AM.  Crazy.   -5 up the hill from me.  LSV map.  East Berlin coming in at double nickels.  LOL. 

 

[Greensnow]

It’s warm near the fires from all the burned books.

Low was -3.5ºF last night and just now getting above zero degrees. That made for an 18hr period that it was below zero here.. which is pretty impressive. 

[Blizzard of 93]

Low of 2 in Marysville overnight 

[anotherman]

Low of 2 here as well.

[canderson]

It’s up to 6. Cook out temps.

Yes indeed.

Low was 3.7 here - it was 5 on the button at 9pm last evening so not much of a drop thereafter.

Same for me here...  +2.3 degrees at 5:05am.  Was hoping to reach or break zero but not this time.  That leaves my coldest low temperature of the entire year at -0.6F back on January 22nd.  A combination of a decent snowpack along with radiational cooling produced that.  Remember we had that prolonged cold period for about 3 weeks following a decent snowstorm back in late December, I think.  Currently it has warmed back up to 6.6 degrees.

And a possible 60 handle New Years Day?  Crazy stuff.  Hope there's not any damage resulting from the rapid cycle of temperature contraction and expansion.

I knew it was going to get warmer but 60? That’s excessive. 

[Itstrainingtime]

8.2 here now.

The GFS and CMC actually have 65-70 New Years day in the LSV.  Not a forecast.   Euro is 60-65.

I would be hard pressed to remember going from 55 to 0 to 60 over a ten day period.  

[Albedoman]

memphis has rolling rolling blackouts on going now. They cannot handle the cold

 

[Bubbler86]

I have spoken to people today who are out of power and have 5-7" of water in their basement.  The flooding aspect of this was really missed to as small streams and roads.

12Z GFS doubled down on near 70 for NYD.  CMC has 60's 4 days in a row late next week.  

 

Christmas Eve nooners....sunny and 9.

Was a sheet of ice around SC last night. Have never seen a flash freeze actually materialize on treated roads quite like that.

[Itstrainingtime]

Very impressive- high today was 13.5, currently it's 12.9. I believe that is record shattering cold.

Though - Christmas eve 1983 was a little colder during the afternoon hours than today was. I left work at 5pm and it was 3 degrees after being in the upper 20s earlier in the morning.

Both air masses were/are historic, though the 1983 outbreak featured subzero temps here that this outbreak will not.

Matched your high here perfectly...13.5 degrees with a low this morning of 2.3 degrees and a mean of 7.9 degrees.  That's easily in the top 10 coldest days / means I've ever recorded.  Perhaps even nudging into the top 5 coldest.  Today's high was pretty darn close to the coldest daily high I have recorded since moving here 22 years ago.  There haven't been many sub-10 degree highs, for sure, in my lifetime.  Less than a handful. Right now I'm back down to 11.7 with a forecast low of 10.
